Cafe Mysore

Name: Cafe Mysore
Location: Kings Circle, Mumbai, India

How to get there?
The restaurant is located about 5 min from Matunga, or Kings Circle station. However, it is slightly more distant from Matunga Road, which falls on the Western line.

The owners claim that Cafe Mysore is the oldest South Indian joint in Mumbai, and is very famous for it's authentic South Indian delicacies. On reaching there, we found out that there is a normal(ground floor) and A/C(first floor) seating arrangement available. We didn't try to figure out if food cost the same at both places, but my guess is that it would be cheaper on the ground floor.
We ordered:

  1. Neer Dossa

  2. Rasam

  3. Idli Gadbad: Idli covered with fried onion, and bhusa

  4. Mysore Pak, which doesn't feature on their menu, but is available :-)

  5. Bisi Bele: A rice preparation with a delicious assortment of vegetables and just the right amount of masala.


and followed it up with Coffee(coppey) as they pronounce it. Along with the coffee, we also got some farsan(bhusa), which is labeled as Mixture on their menu card. The food was really very gratifying, and I felt nice after that meal.
My view would be for you all to surely visit this place if you enjoy eating good authentic South Indian food. Besides, how many other placed do you know of that advertise that the owners of the place eat there too!!!!
